The '9. 0s and the Noughts have come and gone without anointing any decade- defining filmmakers, leaving one to wonder if Hughes was the last of his kind. Which brings us to Uncle Buck.

Brown, Big Love) and Cindy Russell (Elaine Bromka) have to go out of town for a few days to attend a family member's funeral, they're left with little choice but to leave their three children - - temperamental teen Tia (Jean Louisa Kelly, Yes Dear), eight- year- old braniac Miles (Macaulay Culkin, Home Alone) and pint- sized sweetheart Maizy (Gaby Hoffman, Sleepless in Seattle) - - in the care of Bob's unreliable slob- of- a- brother, Buck (John Candy, Cool Runnings). The kids rarely see their uncle.

He's a habitual gambler.. But when thrown to the wolves (or the Russell children as it were), Buck proves his mettle.

He not only goes toe- to- toe with Tia, he bolsters Miles's confidence in his abilities, keeps Maizy giggling and throws his brass- tacks, no- nonsense weight around wherever he sees fit. Suffice it to say, by the time good ol' Uncle Buck is finished with the Russell family, it looks nothing like it did when he arrived. I don't think I want to know a six- year- old who isn't a dreamer or a sillyheart. And I sure don't want to know one who takes their student career seriously. I don't have a college degree. I don't even have a job. But I know a good kid when I see one. Watch Fire Down Below Full Movie.

Because they're all good kids until dried- out, brain- dead skags like you drag 'em down and convince 'em they're no good. You so much as scowl at my niece, or any other kid in this school, and I hear about it, I'm coming for you! Uncle Buck's greatest one- two punch rarely fails to hit full force. Fired briskly, slyly and sometimes menacingly from Candy's mouth, Hughes's dialogue roars to cocky, unrepentant life.

Buck isn't a pushover by any means, and his fast, funny, deceptively ferocious rants and retorts are the film's greatest asset. With a deviled- egg grin and a protruding cigar, Candy hurls barbs and not- so- veiled threats at anyone who stands in Buck's way, bristles warmly whenever his authority is challenged, and folds like a big, bumbling softy the moment Miles or Maizy need a pal. Kelly's scowl- slinging Tia hurls herself against the rocks of Buck's resolve time and time again as well, upping the vindictive ante with each pitiful attempt, but only expedites whatever humbling lessons her Uncle has in store.) As any filmmaker or actor will attest, it's incredibly difficult to develop an intimidating but lovable block of misfortune like Buck. The genre wasteland is littered with the mangled corpses of tough- love nannies and crabby caretakers who never quite connected with audiences. But Hughes and Candy make it look like a cakewalk, and Buck is as unforgettable a character as he is effective as a stand- in dad.

Thankfully, Hughes, ever the professor of adolescent angst, doesn't spend much time focusing on Uncle Buck's two precocious tots. Culkin and Hoffman earn solid laughs when called upon - - "I'm a kid. That's my job." - - but mainly sit on the sidelines, giving Hughes ample opportunity to delve into the trials and tribulations of 1.

Tia, manchild- on- a- mission Buck, and his on- again, off- again girlfriend Chanice (Amy Madigan, Field of Dreams), the only full- fledged adult to be found. The irony of course is that Buck can wrangle a trio of kids but can't tame his own childish impulses.

Whether that reads on screen is debatable. Making stacks of enormous pancakes, threatening principals with bodily harm, abducting a teenage boy and Hughes's other wildly imaginative misadventures are cute to be sure, amusing even, but don't exactly lend themselves to the message he's attempting to weave. Everything works out in the end for Buck and the kids, despite whatever obstacles arise. But it amounts to a mix of dumb luck, tough love and tougher circumstances rather than organic character development. Is Buck really a changed man? I doubt it. Will Tia and her mother stop fighting altogether? Probably not. Regardless, Uncle Buck is a blast from the past worth revisiting.

Uncle Buck stumbles with an uneven 1. AVC- encoded transfer that prevails one minute and flounders the next. Initially, pink- tinted skintones and some obvious edge enhancement are the only major points of contention. Fine detail is surprisingly good, Hughes' wintry palette is bright and lively on the whole, black levels are deep and a crisp veneer of grain lends the picture a nice, filmic quality. Keep your eyes peeled though.

A host of issues soon make their presence known. Black levels may be deep, but the moment the sun sets they become heavy, overbearing and impenetrable.

Colors follow suit, growing a tad lifeless and murky. Worse, contrast falters early and often, faces frequently flush, crush becomes a prevailing issue and delineation isn't up to snuff. Slight print damage peppers the proceedings as well, as does even more noticeable ringing, intermittent flickering, minor telecine wobble and sudden spikes in the film's grainfield. Thankfully, detail remains impressive (for the most part), artifacting and banding are nowhere to be found, and other digital anomalies rarely creep out of the woodwork. At the moment, I'm teetering between a 2. Either way, approach Uncle Buck with a fair bit of caution.
